We’re excited to share that two USask researchers are helping protect crops using biologicals as an ecofriendly alternative to synthetic chemicals and GMO solutions. Professors emeritus Dr. Vladimir Vujanovic (PhD) and Dr. James Germida (PhD) with the College of Agriculture and Bioresources worked with USask to patent and license their invention based on the recent discovery of using microbes for protecting crops and promoting growth at the seed stage. This innovative, biological crop protection will be used by growers for the first time this spring.
